Wexford Macra are holding a dance in the IFA Centre, Enniscorthy, next Friday, January 19th, in aid of two great causes – Little Blue Heroes and Talk to Tom. With music by award-winning country star Stuart Moyles.
As a grassroots organisation, Wexford Macra are committed to engaging with, and improving, the wider community around them.
Founded in 2012, Talk to Tom is a South East-based charity, working towards suicide prevention, mental health awareness, and bereavement support and its supports the region’s mental health services, and in the last twelve years, they have provided support to over 2,000 people struggling with suicidal ideation and mental illness.
The mental health of young people in rural Ireland is a priority for Macra, both locally and nationally. Little Blue Heroes, established in 2017, is a charity voluntarily led by Garda members, retired Garda members and civic minded people from communities. “We chose these two charities because they are local”, says County Macra Chairperson, Ronan Finn. “Talk to Tom is a great charity, especially for the younger generation, in terms of mental health, and mental health is so important to us all. Little Blue Heroes do amazing work for children, and we would love to be able to help them out in any way we can.”
This event is open to the public, with people of all ages and abilities welcome. Doors will open at 9pm, with music starting at 9.30pm. Entry is €10 on the door (cash only), with proceeds going to the two selected charities.
